"There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America's military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the "Obama problem." Don't dismiss it as unrealistic.
America isn't the Third World. If a military coup does occur here it will be civilized. That it has never happened doesn't mean it wont. Describing what may be afoot is not to advocate it.
[...]
Will the day come when patriotic general and flag officers sit down with the president, or with those who control him, and work out the national equivalent of a "family intervention," with some form of limited, shared responsibility?
Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars. Having bonded with his twin teleprompters, the president would be detailed for ceremonial speech-making.
Military intervention is what Obama's exponentially accelerating agenda for "fundamental change" toward a Marxist state is inviting upon America. A coup is not an ideal option, but Obama's radical ideal is not acceptable or reversible.
Unthinkable? Then think up an alternative, non-violent solution to the Obama problem. Just don't shrug and say, "We can always worry about that later."
In the 2008 election, that was the wistful, self-indulgent, indifferent reliance on abnegation of personal responsibility that has sunk the nation into this morass."

Unfortunately, the full article isn't available and has been removed from Newsmax, which issued this statement:
"Newsmax strongly believes in the principles of Constitutional government and would never advocate or insinuate any suggestion of an activity that would undermine our democracy or democratic institutions."
Good for them I guess, but they shouldn't have published it in the first place, sloppy editing for sure.
I cannot for the life of me understand why this guy and the fringe who agree with are behaving like cornered animals. Just because the US isn't a third world country doesn't mean that a military junta or something similar would be a solution to anything. We have to suspend the Constitution in order to save it!!! I can't think of anything more unconstitutional or un-American than that frankly.
Obama is simultaneously being lambasted for being a radical leftist who's destroying the county and for doing "nothing". Those are mutually exclusive are they not?
